Specification of Letters Patent.

FOLDING CAMP-IRON.

, Patented Feb. 3, 1920.

Application filed August 22, 1919. Serial No. 319,201.

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI, ALVIN C. BUsBY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ellensburg, in the county of Kittitas and State of \Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Camp-Irons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in folding camp irons, adapted to fold into a compact form when not in use, and to open up to form a support for dishes, kettles, etc., when in use.

The invention comprises various details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accon1 panying drawings which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device folded, Fig.2 is a plan view, Fig. 3 is a perspective of the device set up for use, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the same.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter:

A, A designate a series of bars of any shape or size and pivoted together at alter- I lVhen not in use the legs are folded against the bars as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

It will be noted the joints intermediate the bars are loose and which will permit the latter to swing indifferent angles to each other, in order to form supports for the different receptacles. By the provision of a camp iron made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that a simple device is afforded which for packing and transportation, may be reduced to a compact form and which may be readily opened up for use over a fire.

Vhat I claim to be newis:

A camping iron consisting of a plurality of bars having loose pivotal joints at alternate ends, permitting the bars to be spread laterally at angles to each other for use, and in parallel relation when closed,'supporting legs pivoted to the pivots connecting said bars and to the free end of the outer of said bars.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my si gn atu re.

ALVIN CLARENCE BUSBY.
